Publisher's Synopsis
Berlin, September 1944. Ulrich von Hassell, former ambassador to Italy and a key member of the German Resistance, is executed for his part in an assassination plot against Hitler. SS leader Himmler orders the arrest of the plotters' families, and in a remote castle in Italy, von Hassell's daughter Fey is arrested. Her two small sons are seized by the SS, leaving Fey with no idea of their fate. Moving from an Italian palazzo to the horrors of Buchenwald, THE LOST BOYS is a devastating account of sacrifice, loss and defiance.
